19、tWe all probably have a lot of T-shirts, but do you ever stop and think about the influence of a T-shirt on the planet? Youd probably be surprised to learn whats involved in the lifecycle of just one T-shirt.There are 5 major stages: material, production, shipping, use and disposal.The material stag

20、e involves farming, irrigating, fertilizing, harvesting and ginning. While cotton is a natural fiber and not as harmful to the environment as manmade fibers, it still takes a toll in the material and production stages. Commercial cotton farming uses a large amount of water, and the use of pesticides

21、 (殺蟲劑）is widespread across the globe, especially in cotton farming. Studies have shown that farmers spend around $4.1 billion on pesticides annually, of which 25% was spent on cotton crops in the US.Once the cotton is grown and harvested, so begins the production stage: spinning, knitting, bleaching

22、, dyeing, cutting, sewing, etc.these processes also use a great deal of water and energy. Commercial dyes and bleaches are harmful pollutants and can eventually pollute groundwater.After the T-shirt is produced, it enters the transportation stage. This often involves overseas shipping. Take a look i

23、n your closet. Chances are that most of your cotton garments (衣服）are made in China or India. Garments can be shipped via plane, ship or truck，all of which spill CO2 into the atmosphere. Calculations show that C02 emissions from light trucks alone amount to 1.15 pounds per mile.Once the T-shirt reach

24、es the retail market, it is purchased. This stage may seem like the leastenvironmentally damaging part. But consider the number of times youve washed and dried your favorite T-shirt. Washing machines are certainly becoming more efficient. However, the average American household does 400 loads of lau

25、ndry per year, using about 40 gallons of water per load. Such excessive water use is combined with the large amount of energy used by dryers.The final stage of life is disposal. This releases harmful emissions, or involves a landfill where cotton takes years to break down. Current US records show th

26、at an estimated 15% of clothes and shoes are recycled, which means that consumers send a shocking 85% of these materials to landfills.We all need new clothes every once in a while, but lets all try to keep in mind what goes into the production of clothing. It has a real impact on the planet.There ar

27、e a lot of things you can do to help reduce your impact. Reuse and recycle clothes. If theyre too worn out to wear, cut them up and use them as cleaning rags. Donate them to charity or another organization that recycles textiles. When possible, make an effort to buy organic cotton. Turn down the the

28、rmostat on your washer, and line dry your clothes when the weather will allow it.1、What can be inferred from this passage?AThe production process may affect water safety.BThe clothing cost is relatively low in China and India.CCotton clothes are buried because they are hard to break down.DThe use st

29、age is the least environmentally harmful of the five stages.2、We can learn from the passage that in the US .Apesticides in cotton farming cost over 4 billion dollars every yearBC02 emissions of land transport amount to 1.15 pounds per mileCabout 15% of the clothes and shoes are made of materials tha

32、to Laszlo Bock，Googles Head of People Operations.When the company was small,Google cared a lot about getting kids from Harvard, Stanford,MIT and many other Ivy League schools. But Bock said it was the “wrong”hiring strategy. Experience has taught him there are exceptional kids at many other places,f

33、rom state schools in California to New York.“What we find is the best people from places like that are just as good，if not better，as anybody you can get from any Ivy League school，”said Bock，who just authored a book titled“Work Rules!”Every year，2 million people apply to get a job at Google. Bock hi

34、mself has seen some 25,000 rsums.So what else does Google not care about:Grades:Googles data shows that grades predict performance for the first two years of a career，but do not matter after that.Brain-teasers:Gone are interview questions such as:Why are manhole covers（井蓋)round? or How many golf bal

35、ls can fit in a school bus?“Our research tells us those questions are a waste of time,”Bock said“Theyre a really coachable skill.The more you practice,you get better at it.”Heres what Google does care about:Problem solvers:Your cognitive ability(認知能力),or how well you solve problems.Leaders:The idea

36、is not whether you were president of the student body or vice president of the bank,but rather:“When you see a problem do you step in,help solve it,”and then critically，“Are you willing to step out and let somebody else take over，and make room for somebody else?Are you willing to give up power?”Goog

37、leyness:Thats what Google calls its cultural fit.Its not“Are you like us?”Bock said.“We actually look for people who are different，because diversity gives us great ideas.”“Whats most important is that people are intellectually humble,willing to admit when theyre wrong,and care about the environment

38、around them.because we want people who think like owners not employess,”Bock said.The least important thing?Knowing how to do the job.“We figure if you get the first three right youll figure it out most of the time.”1、What does Bock mean in Paragraph 2?APeople from state schools can be as good.BGoog

39、le no longer hires people from Ivy League schools.CHiring is a hard job for Google.DState schools are worse than Ivy League ones.2、Which question belongs to a brain-teaser?AWhat are your grades like?BWhat is the significance of figuring out target users?CHow would you improve a Google product?DHow m

41、 If humans pump enough carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere, the stratocumulus clouds(層積云 ) could disappear, and the earths temperature could climb sharply to heights not predicted in current climate models. It would burn the planet. Thats the conclusion of a paper published in the journal Natur

42、e Geoscience and described in detail by Natalie Wolchover for Quanta Magazine.As Wolchover explained, clouds have long been one of the great uncertainties of climate models. Computer models that easily capture the complexity and detail of most climate systems just arent powerful enough to predict wo

And stratocumulus clouds are those white blankets you might have seen as you looked out the window of arm airplane, rolling out below you and hiding the ground Researchers suspect that ce

44、rtain sudden, past jumps in temperature may have been caused by changes to clouds like these.For the new research, scientists modeled just a small patch of sky using a supercomputer. They found that if carbon dioxide levels reach about 1, 200 parts per million(ppm) in the atmosphere, stratocumulus c

45、louds break up. Thats a very high carbon dioxide concentration. Right now, levels have climbed past 410 ppm-a dangerous change from 280 ppm before the Industrial Revolution.But humans put more and more CO2 into the atmosphere every year. If current trends continue, the earth could reach 1, 200 ppm w

46、ithin 100 to 150 years. This could happen if our society doesnt follow through on any of its commitments to reduce emissions(排放), Wolchover reported. And even if it does, the result would be another 8 degrees Celsius of heat added to the global average, on top of the dangerous changes already underw

47、ay due to greenhouse gases.Thats an enormous change, and it goes beyond predictions of worldwide ice melt and catastrophic sea level rise. And, once the stratocumulus clouds are gone, Wolchover reported, they likely wouldnt reappear until atmospheric carbon dioxide levels dropped below where they ar

48、e currently.Theres still some uncertainty in the data. The 1, 200 ppm figure could change as scientists look into the issue further.1、What can we learn from paragraph 2?AMost climate systems are not complex.BCloud behavior is uncertain and hard to predict.CTemperature changes affect the stratocumulu
